Noah Syndergaard

The SP1 ceiling remains for Syndergaard, who registered a 3.03 ERA over 154.1 innings last year. Baseball's hardest-throwing starter submitted the lowest hard-hit rate (21.9%) and barrels per plate appearance (1.4%). His K/9 dropped nearly a run despite maintaining an elite 13.6% swinging-strike rate, so he could return to upper-echelon strikeout dominance. Although elite on a per-inning basis, he has never exceeded 183.1 frames in a single season. He's not durable enough to trust as a top-10 ace, but Thor could easily invade that territory by staying healthy.

Noah Syndergaard has no plans to sign an extension right now

Tim Britton of The Athletic reports Noah Syndergaard and the Mets have not had any contract extension talks.

Fantasy Impact

Pitchers in Syndergaard's class (Aaron Nola, Luis Severino) have recently signed extensions, but the Mets' co-ace currently has no plans to follow suit. “I trust my ability and the talent that I have. So I feel like I’m going to bet (on) myself in free agency and not do what they did,” Syndergaard said. He then added “but if it’s fair for both sides and they approach me on it, then maybe we can talk.” It doesn't sound like anything will get done anytime soon.
